This first-floor, two-bedroom retirement apartment sits within Brampton View Care Village, a well-maintained development built by Avery Homes. The layout includes an entrance hall, lounge, fitted kitchen and wet room; double glazing and an air-source heat pump provide efficient heating and modern insulation. The flat has an allocated off-street parking space and pleasant communal gardens, offering a quiet outlook in a very low-crime, affluent area.
The development is specifically for over-55s and provides on-site support features: a Development Manager, residents’ lounge, cinema room, hairdresser’s room, communal gardens, secure entry, fire detection, and emergency pendant/wrist alarms. These facilities suit buyers seeking a sociable, supported retirement setting with extra peace of mind and communal amenities.
Practical considerations: the lease is long (299 years from 2008) and ground rent is low at £155, but the service charge is higher than average at £4,200 per year and “event fees” may apply for some services. The property is leasehold and part of a managed retirement scheme — buyers should factor ongoing service costs and any service rules into their decision. Overall, this is a low-maintenance, well-serviced retirement apartment in a tranquil village setting.
